Experience up to 10% less pain with this straightforward natural method.
Hold your breath
Holding your breath can help you feel up to 10% less pain.
How does it work?
This likely occurs because holding your breath raises blood pressure, prompting your brain to mildly numb the nervous system. This response helps mitigate stress from the pressure increase.
It's instinctive
Many people naturally hold their breath during painful episodes. If you haven't tried it, use this trick at your next dentist or doctor visit.
